Dimitar Berbatov has claimed Marco Verratti would be “great at Manchester United ”, believing the Paris Saint-Germain star is up there with the likes of Barcelona midfield greats Xavi and Andres Iniesta.

Verratti produced an impressive performance against United, bossing the midfield as PSG came away from Old Trafford with a well-deserved two-goal lead going into the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.

Berbatov knows a thing or two about impressing the Old Trafford faithful, the Bulgarian striker winning two Premier League titles during his four-year spell with the European giants.

And the 38-year-old, who is currently without a club after leaving Indian outfit Kerala Blasters last year, believes Italian maestro Verratti would be the perfect partner for Nemanja Matic.
